uProcess

a tiny python post processor for uTorrent

About:

I (edit: that is to say, @jkaberg) initially made uProcess to be a "learn by doing" project, but has this far been proven a good utility to automate downloads using uTorrent. Feel free to fork me, make changes and what not :-)

With uProcess you can achieve the same "seamless" experience as SABnzbd + CouchPotato + Sick-Beard

Features:

• Extract downloaded content - List of supported archives
• Move, copy or (hard)link files that doesn't need extraction
• Delete torrents which achieved certain ratio
• Ignore torrents containing a "blacklisted" label
• Multi OS compatible (Windows, Linux, OSX)
• Optionally calls CouchPotato or Sick-Beard when done (for additional post-processing)

Requirements:

• uTorrent
  • uTorrent 2.2.1 Build 25302, or;
  • uTorrent 3.0 Build 25824 are both confirmed working
• uTorrent Web UI activated
• Python 2.7

Good to know:

• For uProcess to be able to send torrents containing movies to CouchPotato or series to Sick-Beard you need to match the torrent label you set in CouchPotato/Sick-Beard with the one's you set in config.cfg (eg. in Couchpotato you set label to "movie" in the uTorrent downloader, then in the config.cfg under [Couchpotato] where it says label =, make it so: label = movie)
• Hardlink doesn't work cross partition/hard drive, use the copy or move option instead
• uProcess ONLY works with uTorrent as its heavily dependant on uTorrents Web UI API
• Although uProcess was initially programmed on Windows 8, it should work on most platforms
• This branch may be poorly maintained

Usage:

• Make sure you've installed uTorrent and Python correctly
• Grab uProcess here
• Extract uProcess to any location
• Setup uTorrent to use Web UI (Options->Preferences->Advanced->Web UI), note down user/password and listening port
• Edit the config.cfg file in C:\Downloaders\uProcess to your preferences
• Goto uTorrent again, in Options->Preferences->Advanced->Run Program, where it says "run this program when torrent finishes" add: C:\Python27\pythonw.exe C:\Downloaders\uProcess\uProcess.py "%D" "%I"

NOTE: In the above example I'm assuming uProcess being extracted to C:\Downloaders\uProcess and Python 2.7 installed to its default location, C:\Python27

Not working!?

• First off, check the log file located in the uProcess directory (make sure you set debug = true in config.cfg, and then run uProcess again)
• If that didn't help, create an ticket over at the issue tracker
